For the first time since joining Augsburg from TSG 189 Hoffenheim, Jonathan Schmid is returning to former club, Freiburg, for whom he had 118 appearances, and scored 20 goals.

Augsburg’s start to the Bundesliga has been something of a rollercoaster so a comfortable win against Freiburg may see Augsburg settle and slowly make their way up the table and switching places with their Matchday 8 opponents.
